OneNote Anatomy

• My Notebook    Everything in OneNote is within My
  Notebook. Both folders and sections are stored
  here.
• Folders    These are an organizational aid. You
  don't have to use folders  they're optional 
  but they're useful if you do. Each folder can
  hold many sections.
• Sections    Sections are another organizational
  aid, but they're not optional. Sections are used
  to keep pages of a similar type grouped together.
  
• Pages    This is where you actually put your
  notes. You can write, type, or draw on a page
  just as you do on paper. It's easy to add pages
  to a section by clicking the New Page tab.

Pages in OneNote

• When you open OneNote, you're straight into a
  notebook page where you can take notes. Think of
  it as turning the cover on a paper pad.
• Unlike a paper notebook, the page in OneNote
  autosizes and keeps on growing as information is
  added. So you won't have to squeeze tiny notes in
  the margin as you would on paper

Text on A Page

• When text is entered on a page, a box is formed
  around the text.
• This box forms a container for that particular
  bit of text.
• Each box is like an island on the page that can
  be individually moved and reshaped.

Text on a Tablet PC

• Because OneNote is designed to recognize
  handwriting and categorize it as text, you can
  move and resize handwriting as you would typed
  text.
• You can also convert handwritten notes to typed
  text

OneNote Features

• By default all the notes in OneNote are saved in
  the My Notebook subfolder in the My Documents
  folder on your computer.
• When you open OneNote again, the focus will be
  where it was when you closed it. So no flicking
  frantically through a paper pad, trying to find
  the last notes you

Flags

• Did you know that you can flag notes as you work
  in OneNote?
• If you're in a meeting and have an action item
  assigned to you, or just want to make sure
  something doesn't fall through the cracks, flag
  it as a To Do item, or as Important.

Finding Flags

• The task pane displays a list of notes that you
  have flagged.
• Ways to group or sort note flags
• By flag type (Note Flag Name)
• By particular section
• Page title
• By when you took the notes
• Note text
